What would you think about a "Gear Exchange" Shop?
So I don't know if this has been brought up before because I'm not on the forums every day (I'm sorry if it has!)...but what would everyone think about having a "Gear Exchange" Shop where you could turn in extra pieces of gear for a currency that you can spend on any other gear? Basically the Shard Shop for Gear.
Even if the exchange rate was ludicrous like the Shard Shop (turn in a purple gear for 15 points, blue gear for 5, green for 2, and white for 1 and pay 150 for 1 Stun Cuff, for example), I think that this would both:
1: Make players happy because those sitting on thousands of unused gear can turn it into usable gear (likely everyone would just buy cuffs and holo projectors...lol).
2: Maintain the bottleneck of gear from the CG/EA standpoint, because once a player has traded in their stockpiles of extra unusable gear, they will be right back where they started, albeit able to still use gear that they accumulate from doing their due diligence every day with challenges.
I think this would alleviate the psychological perception of bottlenecks and useless gear, because you don't feel like you've been cheated somehow by EA/CG because you are sitting on 1,800 Mk 5 SoroSuub Keypad Salvages...
